I found this book in our local charity shop for a £1 its original price should have been £7.99.
I dont usually read biographies, but something in the title intruiged me.
It is about an east end family who grew up in depressing conditions with little money. Jenny and her sister oftern suffered under their father who used them to gain moeny from the authorities..The father failed to work as he supposedly had fits. Although he was still capable of abusing his children. Jenny tries to tell the social worker but is not believed.
The girls only repireve is when they go to visit thier Aunt.
The thing which touched me is Jenny has included family photos in the book, these photos say so much that words cannot, the expressions on the faces, the body language being portrayed its all there, the photos upsset me more than reading the book.
The shocking thing near the end is that jenny is martin mccutheons mum. (tiffany in eastenders)
